November 29, 2022 ⌘ Permalink Stephen Hackett
Apple Newsroom has been busy. Today, the company announced the first-ever Apple Podcasts Award winner:
Apple today announced the Apple Podcasts Award honoring a Show of the Year and its team for outstanding quality, innovation, and impact. Inspired by the signature app icon, the Apple Podcasts Award represents Apple's decades-long commitment to supporting creators as they share their voices with the world and helping listeners to discover the best podcasts.
The recipient of the Apple Podcasts Award is Slate's critically acclaimed narrative history series, Slow Burn, for its latest season, Roe v. Wade, hosted by Slate executive editor Susan Matthews. Published throughout June 2022, the four-episode season explores the events leading up to the landmark 1973 Supreme Court decision, offering listeners an in-depth perspective on this universal and timely human rights issue.
I haven't heard this particular season of Slow Burn, but have loved previous seasons that I have heard.
Yesterday, Apple announced the 16 winners of the 2022 App Store Awards:
"This year's App Store Award winners reimagined our experiences with apps that delivered fresh, thoughtful, and genuine perspectives," said Tim Cook, Apple's CEO. "From self-taught solo creators to international teams spanning the globe, these entrepreneurs are making a meaningful impact, and represent the ways in which apps and games influence our communities and lives."

Lebon Régis é um município brasileiro pertencente ao estado de Santa Catarina.

Geografia

Localiza-se a uma latitude 26º55'44" sul e a uma longitude 50º41'43" oeste, estando a uma altitude de 980 metros. Sua população é estimada em 12 331 habitantes.
Possui uma área de 990,74 km².

História

Por volta de 1895, chegavam aos campos e matas do município os primeiros moradores  vindos de várias comunidades catarinenses e paranaenses. Entre os pioneiros ou primeiros habitantes da terra  destacavam-se Francisco de Souza, Nicolau Spautz, Miguel Spautz, Joaquim Pereira, Artur Barth e Alfredo de Almeida Mello.

A história do município de Lebon Régis está ligada às primeiras fazendas  localizadas na serra da Esperança, introduzidas pelos desbravadores paulistas, após a conquista dos campos de Curitibanos, do Corisco e de São João. Já no século passado, as sesmarias possibilitaram a formação de alguns núcleos  por causa do isolamento da região, foram pouco desenvolvidos. Durante a Guerra do Contestado, Lebon Régis foi palco de diversas batalhas entre jagunços e soldados, tendo em um desses conflitos, o maior número de baixas em um combate durante toda a guerra, na localidade de Santa Maria, interior do município.

Em 1903, na parte norte foi criado o distrito de São Sebastião da Boa Vista. Em 1938, o distrito foi elevado a vila com o nome de Caraguatá e em 1950, passou a ser chamado de São Sebastião do Sul. Ao mesmo tempo, na parte sul, na região conhecida pelos antigos como Trombudo, formou-se outro núcleo que levou os nomes de Salto do Rio dos Patos, Fazenda do Salto e de depois como Santo Antônio do Trombudo. Foi um núcleo mais  fácil de progredir pois era um local de passagem de tropeiros que faziam o caminho Curitibanos – Caçador.

O  arraial de Santo Antônio do Trombudo tornou-se distrito em 1934. Em julho do mesmo ano passou-se a chamar de Lebon Régis. Em 1938, o distrito de Lebon Régis passou a categoria de vila. Esta vila foi desenvolvendo-se e a população aumentou, chamando a atenção do governo, que em 19 de dezembro de 1958 juntou os distritos de São Sebastião do Sul e Lebon Régis, criando o município de Lebon Régis. Em janeiro de 1959, o então governador Irineu Bornhausen instalou o município de Lebon Régis. O nome do município foi uma homenagem ao general catarinense Gustavo Lebon Régis, que por ocasião da Campanha do Contestado  entre 1912 e 1916, era secretário geral do Estado de Santa Catarina e traçou o primeiro ataque a Taquaruçu, um dos maiores redutos dos jagunços.

O território que hoje forma o município foi cenário de lutas e combates sangrentos  conflitos entre os caboclos e as forças militares. Muitas foram as consequências da campanha e as pessoas idosas ainda hoje aos seus descendentes narram, as aventuras e peripécias dos monges João Maria, José Maria e do comandante Adeodato.

Com a instalação do município em 1959, assumiu provisoriamente a prefeitura  Antônio Granemann de Souza. O município a partir da emancipação, passou por uma fase de franco progresso, abrigando indústrias madeireiras, fábricas de crina vegetal, desenvolvimento agropecuário, acelerando o conforto e o bem estar social que a cidade precisava .

From the  beginning RSpec::Expectations provided `should` and `should_not` methods
to define expectations on any object. In version 2.11 `expect` method was
introduced which is now the recommended way to define expectations on an object.

###Why switch over from `should` to `expect`

####Fix edge case issues

`should` and `should_not` work by being added to every object. However, RSpec
does not own every object and cannot ensure they work consistently on every object.
In particular, they can lead to surprising failures when used with BasicObject-subclassed
proxy objects.

`expect` avoids these problems altogether by not needing to be available on all objects.

####Unification of block and value syntaxes

Before version 2.11 `expect` was just a more readable alternative for block
expectations. Since version 2.11 `expect` can be used for both block and value
expectations.

```ruby
expect(actual).to eq(expected)
expect { ... }.to raise_error(ErrorClass)
```

See
[http://myronmars.to/n/dev-blog/2012/06/rspecs-new-expectation-syntax](http://myronmars.to/n/dev-blog/2012/06/rspecs-new-expectation-syntax)
For a detailed explanation

### One-liners

The one-liner syntax supported by
[rspec-core](http://rubydoc.info/gems/rspec-core)  uses `should` even when
`config.syntax = :expect`. It reads better than the alternative, and does not
require a global monkey patch:

```ruby
describe User do
  it { should validate_presence_of :email }
end
```

### Using either `expect` or `should` or both

By default, both `expect` and `should` syntaxes are available. In the future,
the default may be changed to only enable the `expect` syntax.

If you want your project to only use any one of these syntaxes, you can configure
it:

```ruby
RSpec.configure do |config|
  config.expect_with :rspec do |c|
    c.syntax = :expect             # disables `should`
    # or
    c.syntax = :should             # disables `expect`
    # or
    c.syntax = [:should, :expect]  # default, enables both `should` and `expect`
  end
end
```

See
[RSpec::Expectations::Syntax#expect](http://rubydoc.info/gems/rspec-expectations/RSpec/Expectations/Syntax:expect)
for more information.

## Usage

The `should` and `should_not` methods can be used to define expectations on any
object.

```ruby
actual.should eq expected
actual.should be > 3
[1, 2, 3].should_not include 4
```

## Using Built-in matchers

### Equivalence

```ruby
actual.should     eq(expected)  # passes if actual == expected
actual.should     == expected   # passes if actual == expected
actual.should_not eql(expected) # passes if actual.eql?(expected)
```

Note: we recommend the `eq` matcher over `==` to avoid Ruby's "== in a
useless context" warning when the `==` matcher is used anywhere but the
last statement of an example.

### Identity

```ruby
actual.should     be(expected)    # passes if actual.equal?(expected)
actual.should_not equal(expected) # passes if actual.equal?(expected)
```

### Comparisons

```ruby
actual.should be >  expected
actual.should be >= expected
actual.should be <= expected
actual.should be <  expected
actual.should be_within(delta).of(expected)
```

### Regular expressions

```ruby
actual.should match(/expression/)
actual.should =~ /expression/
```

### Types/classes

```ruby
actual.should     be_an_instance_of(expected)
actual.should_not be_a_kind_of(expected)
```

### Truthiness

```ruby
actual.should be_true  # passes if actual is truthy (not nil or false)
actual.should be_false # passes if actual is falsy (nil or false)
actual.should be_nil   # passes if actual is nil
```

### Predicate matchers

```ruby
actual.should     be_xxx         # passes if actual.xxx?
actual.should_not have_xxx(:arg) # passes if actual.has_xxx?(:arg)
```

### Ranges (Ruby >= 1.9 only)

```ruby
(1..10).should cover(3)
```

### Collection membership

```ruby
actual.should include(expected)
actual.should start_with(expected)
actual.should end_with(expected)
```

#### Examples

```ruby
[1,2,3].should       include(1)
[1,2,3].should       include(1, 2)
[1,2,3].should       start_with(1)
[1,2,3].should       start_with(1,2)
[1,2,3].should       end_with(3)
[1,2,3].should       end_with(2,3)
{:a => 'b'}.should   include(:a => 'b')
"this string".should include("is str")
"this string".should start_with("this")
"this string".should end_with("ring")
```

CATFISH HODGE-THE EASTBOUND AND WESTBOUND YEARS.
dereksmusicblog ♦ September 4, 2019 ♦ Leave a comment
Great things were expected of Bob "Catfish" Hodge who was born into a musical family in Detroit, and began playing in clubs when he was still in high school. Before long, he was a regular in Detroit's clubs despite not being able to read music. Music came naturally to Catfish and seemed to flow through him. Catfish was a natural when it came to music. So it's no surprise that Bob "Catfish" Hodge decided to make a career out of music.
Since then, Bob "Catfish" Hodge has enjoyed a long and illustrious career. He first came to prominence as a member of Catfish who "coulda been a contender." During the late-sixties, Catfish seemed destined for greatness and rubbed shoulders with The Stooges and MC5. Sadly, success eluded Catfish. After that Bob "Catfish" Hodge embarked upon a solo career.
Bob signed to Eastbound Records in the early seventies. As Catfish Hodge,he released his debut album Boogieman Gonna Get You in 1972. Two years later, Bob released his sophomore album Dinosaurs and Alleycats in 1974 and in 1975, Catfish released Soap's Opera. It was released on Westbound and was Bob's final release on the Eastbound and Westbound labels. After that, Bob signed to Adelphi Records. However, the three albums he released on Eastbound and Westbound are seen as the finest of his career.
Music was Bob's life, and he spent all of his spare time listening to music. When he wasn't listening to music he was making music. Bob formed his first band as a senior in high school, after his friend Terry Kelly taught him how to play guitar. Terry also introduced Bob to a variety of artists, including Lonnie Mack, whose songs found their way into the setlist of Bob's band. However, Terry wasn't Bob's only musical influence.
By the late-sixties, Bob was absorbing the sounds of Detroit, and he was a regular visitor to Motown. Along with his friends, Bob sat in his car listening to the music emanating from the studios. Sometimes, Bob and his friends managed to sneak past the security guards in and watch the recording sessions. They were able to watch artists like Smokey Robinson recording. Before long, they were discovered by an embarrassed guard and they'd be thrown out, until the next time. This was a regular cat and mouse game. Whilst watching these sessions, this only depended Bob's determination to become a musician.
Aspiring musicians are only mortal and "can't live by bread alone." So on leaving school, Bob got a job working at a finance company. One of the job's he was given was collecting money from customers who had missed a payment. This included a forgetful member of the Four Tops. Whenever he was on tour, he forgot to pay his bills. Bob would go and collect the payments. So Bob would've to take the forgetful Four Top, or his wife to Motown. At Motown, they'd pick up some money to pay the bill. Naturally, seeing what was another world close up, made Bob's mind up, now was the time to make music his career.
Bob's first job in the music industry was as a songwriter and producer. He penned and produced Capreez's Over You, which was released on the Detroit label Sound. That was Bob's introduction to the music industry.
Soon, Bob was working with three local bands. He hired an office and started trying to get them a record deal. One label that showed an interest was Vanguard. So, Bob caught the redeye to the Big Apple, and headed to see Maynard Solomon at Vanguard. Bob played him the tapes. Solomon like what he heard, but reckoned that Vanguard weren't quite ready for rock 'n' roll. After his meeting, Bob headed into Greenwich Village.
That night, Bob saw a still unsigned Jimi Hendrix playing in a coffee bar. After that, Bob headed to Bleecker, and s he passed by a club that was closed, he heard music. Curious, Bob looked in. There was Van Morrison rehearsing. For Bob, that was a eureka moment. At last, he knew what he wanted to do with the rest of his life.
Back home, Bob formed Wicked Religion, who evolved into Catfish. Before long, Catfish established a reputation as one of Detroit's top live groups. They were soon rubbing shoulders with MC5 and The Stooges. Their raw blues rock sound was winning friends not just in Detroit, but Catfish further afield. This included in the offices of Epic
Kenny Hodges of Epic had heard good things about Catfish. The word in Detroit was Catfish were on their way to the top. So, Kenny signed Catfish to Epic. He wasn't going to risk anyone beating him to their signature. The only problem would be, replicating Catfish's famous live sound?
For their debut album Get Down, Kenny Cooper was brought in to produce the album. A total of nine tracks were recorded. They were meant to showcase Catfish's blues rock sound. On the release of Get Down in 1970, it wasn't a commercial success and didn't even come close to troubling the charts. Then someone at Epic came up with an idea of how to capture what Catfish were about musically. The idea was to record a live album.
So, Detroit's Eastown Theatre was booked. In front of an enthusiastic audience, Catfish combined their own songs with two Motown covers, Nowhere To Run and Money. The concert became Catfish's sophomore album, Catfish Live. Released in 1971, Catfish Live failed to chart. Still commercial success and critical acclaim eluded Catfish. Not only did Catfish Live fail to chart, but it spelt the end of Catfish.
The plaudits and commercial success that were about to come the way of MC5 and The Stooges passed Catfish by. They were about to become a footnote to Detroit's musical history. That shouldn't have been the case. Catfish had what it took to go from contenders to title holders. Who knows, maybe another record company would've got the best out of Catfish? Sadly, Catfish would split-up not long after the release of Catfish Live.
Bob realised this was about to happen, and had been thinking about embarking upon a solo career. He started recording his first album as Bob Hodge. Catfish Hodge had yet to make his debut. As Bob Hodge, he released Empathy, which was recorded in a small studio in Memphis and released on Cupid Records, which was Catfish's own record label. Bob optimistically, had 500 copies pressed. Empathy passed most people by. So Bob decided it was time for a change and hopped on a plane to London.
There was a reason for this. Bob was friendly with many British musicians, including the legendary Peter Green. In London, Bob stayed at the Earls Court hotel and wrote songs. Back then, Bob had hopes of become the next James Taylor. Instead, his music headed in a very different direction, when Bob wrote Boogie Man. So with another album written, Bob headed home, looking for a record deal.
Since Bob had been away, Detroit had changed. Motown had followed the sun to Los Angeles. This was now the age of the major label. No longer were independent labels thriving. Many were struggling to make ends meet. One independent label bucked the trend, Westbound Records.
Founded and run by Armen Boladian, Westbound Records and its subsidiary Eastbound Records were doing well. They were home to Denise LaSalle and The Detroit Emerald and Bob decided to visit Armen Boladian. He'd heard Empathy and liked what he heard, and decided to take a chance on Bob. He gave him $500 and told him to record some demos.
Five songs were recorded at a small studio owned by a local band SRC. Then Armen wanted to see Bob play live. Bob just so happened to be playing in a local club. So Armen headed over to the club, accompanied by two members of Funkadelic, George Clinton and Calvin Simon. That night, Bob won over not just Armen, but the two members of Funkadelic. They encouraged Armen to send Bob to Toronto, where Funkadelic were recording America Eats Its Young. Armen agreed, and Bob headed to Toronto, where he recorded Boogie Man Gonna Get Ya.
Boogie Man Gonna Get Ya.
At Manta Recording Studios, in Toronto, Bob recorded Boogie Man Gonna Get Ya. Calvin Simon who'd encouraged Armen to record Bob produced Boogie Man Gonna Get Ya. Bob wrote seven of the eight songs. The other song was a cover of The Beatles' Want You (She's So Heavy). Accompanying Bob was a tight, talented band. This included a rhythm section of bassist William Landless, drummer Pat Freer and guitarists "Shakey" Al Werneken and Dallas Hodge. They were joined by pianist Bob Babitch and percussionist Jerry Paul. Producer Calvin Simon decided to add some punchy horns. This was an absolute masterstroke.
Boogie Man Gonna Get Ya was released in 1972. It marked the debut a the newly named Catfish Hodge. It's described as rock with a hint of funk. Sadly, despite what's a delicious fusion of blues, funk, jazz and rock, Boogie Man Gonna Get Ya failed to chart. This wasn't helped by Westbound falling behind with the release of Boogie Man Gonna Get Ya. Locally, the album was a success. Boogie Man Gonna Get Ya was played on local radio. This resulted in Catfish playing bigger gigs and heading out to tour Boogie Man Gonna Get Ya. Westbound believing Catfish had a big future ahead of him, commissioned a second album, which became Dinosaurs and Alleycats.
Dinosaurs and Alleycats.
For Dinosaurs and Alleycats, eight tracks were chosen. Catfish wrote Color TV Blues and Living The Blues. He cowrote five of the other six tracks. The other track was a cover of Jack Bruce and Pete Brown's Never Tell Your Mother She's Out Of Tune. Some tracks were recorded at Manta Recording Studios, in Toronto. Other tracks were recorded in Detroit, at the Golden World Studio, which had been where so many Motown hits were recorded. It was much the same band accompanying Catfish.
Catfish's band included a rhythm section of bassist William Landless, drummer Dave Chambers and guitarists "Shakey" Al Werneken and Dallas Hodge. They were joined by slide guitarist Bob McCarthy pianist Bob Babitch, plus backing vocalists and a horn section. Catfish played acoustic guitar, piano and organ. Once Dinosaurs and Alleycats was completed, it was released in 1974, two years after Boogie Man Gonna Get Ya.
Sadly, some things didn't change. Dinosaurs and Alleycats failed to chart. This was despite Catfish changing direction. Whereas some of the arrangements on Boogie Man Gonna Get Ya are busy and sometimes, some of the arrangement on Dinosaurs and Alleycats are much more understated and spacious. Everything from blues, funk, rock and feature on Dinosaurs and Alleycats, which marked a musical coming of age from Catfish Hodge.
Soap's Opera.
A year after the release of Dinosaurs and Alleycats, Catfish began work on Soap's Opera. It proved to be Catfish's final album for Westbound Records was Soap's Opera. It was released on their Eastbound imprint. Soap's Opera featured ten tracks. Catfish wrote eight tracks. The other two tracks were covers of It's All Over Now and Joni Mitchell's For Free. Accompanying Catfish, was an all-star band.
This meant it was all change for Catfish. None of the band that played on his first two albums played on Soap's Opera. The rhythm section included drummers Larry Zack, bassist David Kovarick and guitarist Bonnie Riatt. They were joined by Dr. John on piano and organ, Wayne Cook on keyboards and Sneaky Pete Kleinow played pedal steel. James Montgomery played harmonica and Rosemary Butler of the all-girl band Birtha sung backing vocals. The ten tracks became Soap's Opera, which proved to be Catfish's Westbound finale.
On its release in 1975, Soap's Opera failed to chart. Catfish Hodge had changed direction again. He incorporated the West Coast sound to his usual fusion of blues and rock. However, just like Dinosaurs and Alleycats it left the listener wanting to hear more from Catfish Hodge. Sadly, it wasn't to be.
After the commercial failure of Soap's Opera, Catfish Hodge left Westbound Records. He'd released a trio of albums, yet hadn't made a commercial breakthrough. That's despite the undoubted quality of the music on Boogieman Gonna Get You, Dinosaurs and Alleycats and Soap's Opera. Each of these albums were very different.
On each album, Catfish's music evolved. He wasn't going to stand still. So, each album saw a new side of Catfish. By the time he released Soap's Opera, Catfish had adopted the West Coast sound. This was totally different from the fusion of blues and rock that was Boogieman Gonna Get You. Then on Dinosaurs and Alleycats, musical genes and influences melted into one. Catfish also realised the importance of space. The arrangements were much more understated and spacious. Having said that, still occasionally, Catfish and his band cut loose. When they kicked loose, it was a glorious sound. Still, commercial success eluded Catfish Hodge. By 1975, Catfish was still trying to catch a break. Even when he jumped on the West Coast Sound bandwagon, commercial success and critical acclaim was nowhere to be seen. For Westbound Records, that was the end of the road.
For Catfish Hodge, his time at Westbound Records might be over, but his career was still in its infancy. Since 1975, Catfish Hodge has continued to release albums and tour. He's one of the hardest working men in music. Now a musical veteran, Catfish Hodge has recorded a lot of music since Boogieman Gonna Get You, Dinosaurs and Alleycats and Soap's Opera. However, these three albums are still regarded as the best music of Catfish Hodge's long career and a tantalising reminder of a truly talented singer, songwriter and musician at the peak of his powers.

Within the historical context of the Spanish Civil War, 1936–39, ineffectuality, vacillation and irresolution in social and political commitment came under scrutiny as a kind of 'Hamletism'. Catalan journalist and writer Paulino Masip (1899–1963) cites Hamlet as a type in his article 'Carta a un español escéptico' ['Letter to a sceptical Spaniard'] in the Barcelona-based newspaper La Vanguardia on 16 September 1937, as does José Bergamín (1895–1983) in his contribution to the 2nd International Congress of Writers in Defence of Culture, published in the monthly review Hora de España in August 1937. A theatre production of Hamlet in Valencia in December 1937 reveals similar conflicts and anxieties. In the novel El diario de Hamlet García [The Diary of Hamlet García], written during his exile in Mexico, Masip criticizes wartime Hamletism and reflects upon the dilemmas the civil war imposed on him, contemporary intellectuals and the civilian population of Madrid.

This captivating documentary takes a new look at Israel, with its rapid population growth to more than 7,000,000 people—atypical for a developed country. With its median age of 28, the immigration of Jews is from around the world. Scripture tells us God chose Israel so that one day it would be a blessing to the entire world. God made a covenant with Abraham promising to make his descendants into a great nation. You'll learn a lot about the Jewish state in this DVD, and perhaps contemplate whether the influx of young Jewish people portends a fulfillment of prophecy.

Mercedes-Benz Car for All Seasons
"As this project started to crystallize, we realized that this work of art would allow us to tell a great story about our Canadian heritage with a 35 year old car in mint condition."
Tim A. Reuss, President and CEO of Mercedes-Benz Canada, joined Tom Forrestall on August 28, 2014 to unveil "A Car for All Seasons," the latest creation by the world-renowned Canadian realist artist. The "Car for All Seasons" will be on display at Ogilvie Motors Mercedes-Benz from September 10 to the 18.
Commissioned by Mercedes-Benz Canada, Tom Forrestall worked relentlessly over the course of the last six months on converting his vintage 1980 Mercedes-Benz 300 SD into a thought-provoking and transportable work of art. He credits his long-time friend and partner in this project, Dr. Mary O'Regan of Toronto, with the idea to paint the car as well as naming the work, "A Car for All Seasons".
Born in the Annapolis Valley of Nova Scotia, Tom Forrestall is one of the foremost realist painters in Canada celebrated for his small brush stroke technique that results in highly detailed images. Throughout his career, Tom Forrestall has often chosen to work with unconventional shapes, rejecting the more familiar rectangle. He explains that for this particular project, he reconciled the idea of the seasons and the shape of the canvas by creating a tapestry-like concept that gives the impression that it could be easily lifted to expose the original car paint and colour.
The Changing Seasons Portrayed on a Motorized Canvas
Painted using BASF's waterborne GlasuritTM 90-Line automotive paint, the large scale work is brimming with intricate details that characterize the Canadian seasons: lush spring greeneries morph into a riot of summer colours that transform into blowing leaves that transmute into a desolate winter scene. The work also incorporates symbolic touches such as the portraits of the eponymous Mercedes Jellinek, Karl Benz and Gottlieb Daimler, as well as the Canadian and German flags.
As a loyal Mercedes-Benz customer for several decades, it was only natural for Tom to set up his temporary studio in the same vicinity where his vehicle had been serviced by the same technician for over 33 years. This special set up in the showroom allowed staff, customers and the general public the opportunity to witness first-hand the progression of the work amongst the daily hustle and bustle of O'Regan's Mercedes-Benz.
Six Months of Hard Work
"I have undertaken a number of large projects in my career but none that have commanded six months. There was an emotional passion that resounded throughout the creation of this piece: the deeper I got into it, the more I loved it," said Tom Forrestall. "I am thrilled that a vehicle that has seen the passage of many seasons will make the passage of time in its new form."
"As this project started to crystallize, we realized that this work of art would allow us to tell a great story about our Canadian heritage with a 35 year old car in mint condition, coupled with the history of a great painter who actually owned and drove the car through many seasons. Mercedes-Benz has a long, established tradition of introducing timeless designs, and the 1980 300 SD which served as a canvas for this work of art is certainly a prime example of this," said Tim A. Reuss, President and CEO of Mercedes-Benz Canada. "This is an exciting development for Mercedes-Benz Canada and we are delighted to have been involved in this unusual project. I would like to extend our thanks to the many people whose support was instrumental in bringing this creative project to fruition, namely Dr. Mary O'Regan, Patrick and Sean O'Regan and the entire staff at O'Regan's Mercedes-Benz in Halifax as well as Rick Valin at BASF. As the "Car for All Seasons" begins its new journey, we now look forward to sharing this very special work of art with Canadians coast-to-coast."

He Built It, But They Didn't Come
Fields Unharvested: MCC Should Mourn Mercurial Craig's Sayonara
Jerry Werner is president of Werner Associates, an Austin, Texas-based consultancy specializing in strategic planning for collaborative R&D initiatives. Mr. Werner was director of technology transfer for MCC's CAD Program from 1984 to 1990, during the tenure of all three MCC chief executive officers (Adm. Bobby R. Inman, Grant Dove and Craig Fields.)
Craig Fields' surprise resignation as chairman and CEO of the Microelectronics and Computer Technology Corp. in early March has left the pioneering consortium rudderless just at the time it needs strong and innovative leadership. According to the Austin American-Statesman, private-sector support for MCC in 1994 has dropped to less than half its peak of $60 million plus annually in the late '80s, while government funding for MCC programs has steadily risen from $0 to more than $10 million during the same period.
While the decline of private-sector support has occurred on Fields' watch, it would be inaccurate to say that he precipitated that drop. MCC's shareholders started seriously questioning their return on investment in the consortium during the 1987-88 timeframe, and by 1990 (prior to Fields' arrival) industrial support had begun to wane.
If anything, Craig Fields' appointment as MCC's president in mid-1990 gave the consortium breathing room to rethink its "vision" and to address the serious collaborative challenges that were the cause of its shareholders' dissatisfaction.
It didn't take Dr. Fields long to realize that it was taking too long for MCC's research to translate into improved shareholder design processes or new, innovative products.
Shareholder companies not only weren't realizing the promised 5:1 or 10:1 leverage from their research dollars, many felt they weren't even recouping their actual investment.
The output from MCC's research was often lying fallow in shareholder "receptor groups," not finding its way into mainstream engineering and product development functions. Something needed to be done.
Fields quickly instituted changes: Researchers were required to operate and think like business people, by defining their target markets and meeting project timelines. MCC's membership list was expanded, with growth coming in the ranks of Associate and Affiliate memberships.
Promising technologies that the shareholders chose not to adopt were "spun out" into start-up companies, often headed by former MCC staff members. MCC's shareholders would receive preferred access to new commercial products and thereby gain a return from their earlier investments, and the "spin-outs" would benefit from initial customer bases.
In one of his more controversial moves, Fields established MCC Ventures to provide early financial assistance for start-up companies, including spin-outs from MCC's research programs. According to the Austin American-Statesman, some MCC veterans saw a possible link between the special MCC board meeting convened this February in part to review MCC Ventures, and Fields' subsequent resignation.
Whatever the underlying reasons for Dr. Fields' departure, MCC must continue on the path of fundamental change. It's clear that its 20 or so shareholders ultimately run the show, not the much larger set of MCC's "members."
The new CEO must address the primary reason MCC's shareholders originally joined the consortium: to gain access to research that would ensure their future competitiveness.
While creating new models for public-private cooperation and investing in entrepreneurial ventures are important roles for the consortium, the fundamental issue of how to make a direct impact on shareholder bottom lines must be the highest priority.
The "pre-Fields" MCC suffered from an arm's-length relationship between MCC research staff and shareholder product-line people. The goals of many research projects were determined more by researchers' interests than by the shareholders' top-priority problems.
Potential shareholder "customers" of MCC's research were often considered too late in project lifecycles -- a severely flawed strategy if the ultimate goal is to foster widespread adoption of MCC technologies. The "post-Fields" MCC must continue the new directions he set while simultaneously addressing shareholder impact.
MCC's shareholders could decide that it's time to fold up the tent, after 11 years and a collective investment in the hundreds of millions of dollars.
Or they could realize that MCC, if ultimately successful, will be much more than a source of leading-edge research and a shared investment in entrepreneurial ventures.
It will be a "learning laboratory" for new R&D strategies and processes designed to accelerate the creation of high-impact technology-based solutions to solve our most pressing real-world challenges.

The APPG on Poverty and the End Child Poverty Coalition are delighted to host this important seminar on the impact of rising prices and reducing family income.
January can be a financial challenge for all of us, but for families on a low income it is especially hard. With little money coming in, financial support such as Child Benefit can be a lifeline for families living in poverty. But what is the impact of the Government's current benefit freeze on these families?
In addition to the current freeze on children's benefits, the 'poverty premium' means that low-income families are often forced to pay more for basic essentials, like heating the house with expensive pre-payment meters or buying white goods through high interest rent-to-own companies.
This seminar will outline new research into the impact on families of the benefit freeze and discuss what elements of the poverty premium most affect families today, as well as what both Government and business can do to support families with increasing costs.
Please arrive at the Houses of Parliament by 09.15 in order to clear security. You may be asked for ID. Information about visiting Parliament can be found here.

With this agreement, Muntons range of British Malts will be available to brewers throughout Canada.
The Muntons brand has traditionally had a strong presence in Canada. While Muntons range of homebrew kits have remained popular in the Canadian market, Muntons has been trying to find ways to supply the Canadian brewing market since its prior distributor was sold.

Muntons can offer a like-for-like for any British base malt such as the iconic Maris Otter™, as well as modern varieties like their flagship spring barley Planet, Craft winter barley, and brand new Northern Spring. Muntons also produces a range of specialty malts including Dextrin, oat, wheat, rye, cara, crystal, toasted and roasted malts. Brew Culture received their first Muntons product delivery at their Ontario warehouse last week. Maris Otter™ and select specialty malts are available for immediate purchase.

To be in dire straits means to be in desperate trouble or impending danger. Dire means extremely serious. Straits are narrow passages of water which connect two larger bodies of water, navigating them may often become perilous. In the mid-sixteenth century, straits came to mean any difficult situation, one that carries a high degree of trouble. A newspaper column in the Rome News-Tribune in September of 2000 cites United States President Franklin Delano Roosevelt as the first known user of the term dire straits in a 1933 radio address concerning those out of work during The Great Depression. Details about early usage of this phrase is hard to come by, but the phrase dire straits was common enough to be the choice for a British band's name in 1977.

Australia's 4G network is faster than 5G: study
News National Australia's 4G network is faster than 5G: study

Samantha Dick Reporter
Australia is the only country with a 4G network that is faster than the 5G network, as shown in a new report.
Of the top eight countries with 5G services, the study found that Australia's 5G speed was slightly slower than its maximum 4G speed.
The United States, meanwhile, enjoyed a 5G maximum speed of 1815Mbps – about three times as fast as 4G users' maximum speed.
Switzerland followed in second place with 5G speeds 2.6 times faster than 4G speeds, and South Korea ranked third.
But Australia's slower 5G network doesn't necessarily mean we are worse off.
Rather, the report suggests it is simply a reflection of our 4G's "extreme" speed.
According to the study by market analysis blog OpenSignal, the maximum speed experienced by 4G users in Australia was "so extremely fast… that the maximum 5G speed was actually slightly slower than the maximum 4G speed".
Telecommunications expert Paul Budde agreed with the report, adding Australia's "really good 4G system" was the reason why there hasn't been a real demand for 5G here just yet.
"Australia has always had a good service by international standards – we were one of the first to really understand the importance of smart phones," Mr Budde told The New Daily.
"5G will come, no doubt about that whatsoever, but if there is no demand for it yet why would you pay for it?"
Mr Budde said major networks such as Telstra and Optus were deliberately targeting parts of Australia with a poor NBN network so they could position themselves as a more attractive service.
"They look at areas where there is an opportunity, go to market with a 5G product that can compete with the NBN and provide a better service," Mr Budde said.
"You don't see this in South Korea or the US because you wouldn't be able to compete with the fixed-wire service in those countries."
When 5G is eventually adopted all over Australia, the new technology is expected to deliver dramatically reduced communication delays, making the much broader use of bold inventions such as surgical robots possible.
So-called 'smart cities' are already on the minds of many local councils, with Gold Coast City Council, Darwin City Council and Newcastle City Council showing off plans to take advantage of the increased internet connectivity.
In Darwin, the council has installed more than 100 new CCTV cameras and has plans to introduce a speaker system and a 'geo-fencing' sensor that triggers an alarm if a person crosses a virtual boundary.
While the new technology has been welcomed by many, some are fearful of 'smart cities' trumping our right to privacy.

provided in the lesson plans in this series separately, or you can use both of them. They work very well when used in conjunction with one another. These activities would also be great used in a unit on all four seasons.
Talk to students about the weather. See if they notice any changes, especially if it has been getting colder.
Talk to your class about how there are four seasons and what season it is. Discuss what happens during winter and how the weather turns colder. Show students the cover of It's Winter and have them make a prediction about what the book will be about. Read the book stopping to discuss what happens in the story.
After you have finished reading the book, talk about activities your students like to do during winter. Include some of your favorites, too. Brainstorm a list of activities together. If you live in a warmer climate, you may need to modify this activity. Brainstorm a list to go along with the book's activities, such as sledding, building snowmen, and drinking hot chocolate. You may even want to show your students pictures of these activities.
Explain that today students will be making a mobile with their favorite winter activities. Pass out one sheet of copy paper to each student. Explain that students will be making their very own snowflakes. This will be the top of the mobile. Show students how to fold their paper into fourths, and then show them how to cut in different places to make a snowflake design.
You can either have students draw pictures of their favorite activities on construction paper, or you can pass out copies of winter activity images for students to color. Have students draw and color or color the pictures of their favorite winter activities. While students are doing this, go around and punch holes in the bottom of the snowflakes and in the tops of the pictures. Then, have students cut out the pictures.
Attach the pictures to the snowflake using the yarn. Tie a knot at both of the holes to attach the pictures to the mobile.
Find and print four pictures showing activities done during each season. During free play time, have students come up one at a time and identify the picture that shows the winter activity.
Teach about other aspects of winter. Teach about the holidays that occur during winter, such as Christmas, Hanukkah, and Kwanzaa.
These winter lesson plans will teach your students all about the winter season. These lesson plans use a favorite book, It's Winter by Linda Glaser. Your students will enjoy learning about different aspects of winter with these activities.

Letters to the Editor: Animals need protection from abuse, torture
Published 6:00 pm EDT, Monday, June 16, 2014
Animals need protection from abuse, torture
The Humane Society Legislative Fund (HSLF) has a special and unique role to play in the support and progress of the animal protection movement. It can work to pass animal protection laws at the state and federal levels, educate the public about animal protection and support human candidates for office.
It was able to celebrate passage of the 2014 Farm Bill which President Barack Obama signed into law February 7. The bill excluded the overreaching and destructive King Amendment, which threatened to nullify state and local laws protecting animals from cruel treatment.
Preston Odle and Levi Evans of Dresden, Tennessee, tortured a puppy for fun; the puppy died after four hours of suffering. They kicked her, repeatedly breaking ribs; stood on her head; wired her mouth shut; tied a wire around her neck and hung her from a tree; and stabbed her in the back. Their punishment for torturing and brutally killing her was two years of probation and 200 hours of community service.
Would you call that justice?
I urge you to support HSLF. They need to go on protecting our defenseless friends from inhumane acts of senseless violence. Spaying or neutering will reduce the number of homeless, unwanted dogs and cats and prevent them from facing needless torture.
Please help by sending a donation to: Humane Society Legislative Fund, 2100 L Street, NW Suite 310, Washington, DC 20037 or go online to www.hslf.org. Our four-legged friends need us.

Thanks for bringing back 'Arlo & Janis'
So many people have written in to the New Haven Register about bringing back "Arlo & Janis." I was not one of them, but did enjoy reading it every day. Since you brought it back a couple of days ago, I wanted to say "thank you." You made my day when you did.

O'Reilly off-base with ACA column
Bill O'Reilly's "What's up, Doc" article wasn't exactly fair and balanced quoting a survey from Medicus, a physician recruiting and staffing service in Dallas, Texas. Medicus gave the Affordable Care Act an overall grade rating of "F." However, Bill failed to mention another survey by Medicus in which the physicians were asked to select their two top concerns. They overwhelmingly voted 53 percent for compensation/reimbursement.
Now with ACA paying less money to physicians, this is not the ideal group to endorse ACA. It appears that Bill is trying to match the survey with his argument. He goes on to claim that physicians are mulling over the possibility of abandoning the profession over the ACA and that the practice of medicine is in jeopardy, all over the ACA. Really! I'm surprised that ACA doesn't also cause acne, as well.
The survey of 2,500 physicians isn't exactly representative of the 625,000 physicians nationwide or the American Medical Association's 215,854 members. Bill goes on to claim that many doctors are seeing too many patients and not making enough money to support their families. I don't know what I am missing, I would think that many patients translates into more money! Bill doesn't want to frighten anyone, but we are going to end up like Canada and England where "it is actually difficult to see a doctor in some places"; instead, we will be seeing nurses or physician assistants. I'm not sure where "some places" are. I guess they can be anywhere. The hypothetical question is whether Drs. Welby, Casey and Kildare, albeit ficitional characters, would support the law or give it an "F" like the 2,500 at Medicus. However, Bill was right about one fact: there are many Americans who are sick of hearing about it.

Military service might help USA, today's youth
Although compulsory military service is usally thought of as providing a trained reserve, it would have more important benefits for the USA. Service in the military teaches:
• Discipline;
• Hygiene;
• Leadership;
• Teamwork; and
• Valuable skills.
Compulsory military service would be a much-needed adjunct to our failed public education system.

Mike Agugliaro talks about how bad reviews can really throw some people off their game. Instead of fighting the review or turning a blind eye, Mike gives you a three step process you can use to turn people who give your business bad reviews into raving fans.
Technology and social media has changed the review game, it's never been easier for your customer to publish a review of your business.
Positive reviews are part of the process of getting a customer to become comfortable with trusting your business and you should ask your customers directly for one.
Tell your customers up front that you are going to wow them so much that they are going to want to give you a five star review. When set the expectations high you rise to the occasion.
Most people are just waiting for reviews to happen, if you ask for the five star review and feedback on how you did, you are much more likely to get what you want.
There are three responses to a bad review. People will either fight and justify the result, turn a blind eye to all reviews in general, or they freeze because they have no idea how to handle a bad review.
Don't get cocky about your good reviews and don't let the bad reviews bring you down. Use them as motivation to improve and get better.
When you go from fighting to caring in your business's culture, the whole game elevates. When you break a new ceiling you create a new floor.
The first step is to Respond, it doesn't matter how long ago the review was given, you should respond to every review you receive. Responding shows that you care about the experience your customer had, good or bad.
Respond to bad reviews without justifying the quality of the service delivered. Invite them to discuss the issues directly and state specifically that you want to do what it takes to turn them into a raving fan.
The second step is to Relocate. You will not be able to satisfy everyone and you will get some less than stellar reviews, if you have raving fans they will come to your defense when they get a bad review.
Asking someone who has given you a bad review to modify it after the fact once you have dealt with the issue is a good way to show a good faith effort to fix the situation and turn a disgruntled customer into a raving fan.
Leverage your good reviews in more than one way.
The third step is to Raise. You should constantly raise the bar. What gets measured and reported on improves exponentially. Use your reviews as a way to establish the benchmark for constant improvement.


And tonight my finger nails are tired…from hanging in and hanging on. I believe, as caregivers, we are often just hanging in and hanging on.
Two weeks ago, my mother was released from the sling and stabilizing contraption she wore for two months after breaking her shoulder. We then experienced one week of increased energy, pleasant confusion but good conversation and laughter. She engaged cheerfully in activities and my hopes were raised for a good summer.
Then another UTI raised it's ugly head. Now we have had ten days of major confusion, listlessness and her frustration when she can't articulate a clear sentence. She looked at me one day and said " I just feel like sh-t".
I answered, " I know Mom and I'm so sorry." And we wait for the antibiotic to finally kick in.
Tonight, the meal at the assisted living wasn't fit for man nor beast. Tiny portions, little protein, and a slice of plain white bread. No roll, or biscuit, or whole wheat or grain bread. Mother's table mates were vocal with their disgust. We pay a million dollars a month ( not really, but you get my point) and this is dinner. Long term care is NOT what it needs to be. And who still eats plain white bread??????
And earlier today some one said something to me that was really offensive and just plain rude.
And our airconditioning is on the blink. I sweat as I write.
This weekend I read the new Chicken Soup for the Soul book. It is for those dealing with Alzheimer's or other dementias. I am privileged to know two of the contributors to this collection of stories "of caregiving, coping and compassion". I urge you to purchase the book. The stories are lovely, and heart warming and inspiring. Royalties from the book go to the Alzheimer's Association. I am prejudiced, but it's a great organization and they do excellent work.
But in my current mood, the book just made me sad. There were no stories of overcoming the disease. There were no truly "happy" endings. Sometimes I get tired of the "heart warming" and the coping and I just want the cure. And then I felt depressed. And then I was angry.
And tonight my fingernails are tired.
Then I stumbled upon an article with a quote by neuroscientist Jill Bolte Taylor, PhD. She said " When you feel an emotion caused by a negative event, it takes only 90 seconds for the body to process the resulting stress hormones and return to it's baseline setting." Her recommendation was to not think, just feel – for 90 seconds – and then let it go!
So tonight will be my 90 seconds – of sadness, frustration, anger and tired fingernails. Tomorrow, I will rise, and I will take on the challenge once more. I will strengthen my grip. I will move forward in a pro-active way and I will CONTINUE THE FIGHT. Change will happen only when we make it happen. Are you with me?
This entry was posted in caregiving, life challenges, parents, planning for the future, sandwichcaring, Uncategorized on May 28, 2014 by janestory.
Hi Jane! I admire your strength and your honesty. It's great how you allow yourself to feel your emotions even if they're not so good, yet you don't allow your sadness or anger to make you give up. Although you didn't offer any form of advice in this post, this story can encourage caregivers out there. That's why we featured it in our Weekly Digest. You can read it here http://www.ltcoptions.com/weekly-digest-retirement-decisions-parents-finances/.


Among the guests will be Director of Amnesty International Ireland Colm O'Gorman, author and broadcaster Manchán Magan, filmmaker Pat Collins, musicians Iarla Ó Lionáird and Daithí O'Drónaí, comic Eleanor Tiernan, St Brigid's Children's Choir (NS Cabinteely) and The Discovery Gospel Choir.
The show will be available on catch-up on www.rte.ie/player for 21 days and will also be available on the Washington Post website.
Viewers can contribute to the discussion at: #Irelandtalks #pureirish.
For more on RTÉ's St Patrick's Weekend coverage across all platforms, visit: www.rte.ie/pureirish.
The Minister for Arts, Heritage and the Gaeltacht, Jimmy Deenihan, said: "I am delighted to support this event. Now is the time of year when we celebrate Irishness, and this event allows for a discussion about what that means in the 21st century.
"St Patrick's Day puts Irish culture on the world stage, and focuses global attention on the Irish at home and across the globe.
"This event brings cultural voices and performers together in what promises to be a thought-provoking and entertaining evening."

Her live show has gone from strength to strength, as her incredible, unique take on pop music continues to mature, and these shows will be a chance for fans to enjoy unreleased tracks, as well as cuts from her beloved back catalogue. bAnoffee arrived on the music scene releasing an eponymous debut EP in 2014. She is well known for her lithe, glassy pop songs that are just as hooky and emotionally splicing. She followed it up with another stellar EP 'Do I Make You Nervous?' in 2015 and a flurry of infectious singles leading up to 2018, which saw her on the road with Charli XCX's live band, supporting Taylor Swift's gargantuan Reputation Tour.


The Women's Aid Helpline is a highly valued and vital resource. It is the only service of its kind in Northern Ireland. It helps thousands of women in crisis each year. There have been 78,265 calls to the Helpline since it was established in 1995.
Calls to the Helpline have continued to increase this financial year. We note a 12% increase on last year's figures with a total of 17,580 calls received throughout the year. The primary source of calls is women in crisis. The second key constituency of Helpline users is statutory services working in the domestic violence field – primarily police officers and social workers. Health visitors, social workers and health care professionals use the Helpline as a means of increasing support to the women and families with whom they work. Secure funding from a variety of sources is vital to support both women in crisis and the agencies working with them. In the year 2002/2003 the highest proportion of calls came from the Greater Belfast area. However, there was an increase in calls from rural areas, especially the North Down and Ards, Lisburn, Downpatrick and Ballymena area. Analysis of calls statistics reveal that the further prospective callers are from Belfast, the less likely they are to call the Helpline.
The Helpline referred 482 women and 645 children to Women's Aid refuges from April 2002-March 2003.
Last year, the local Women's Aid groups accommodated 989 women and 1,112 children in refuges throughout Northern Ireland. They responded to at least 14,307 telephone requests for advice and information. At least 4,451 women used their local Women's Aid group for non-accommodation support such as; court accompaniment; aftercare; one-one; attending courses; and drop-in sessions.
